4 stars for an entertaining horror/thriller. The author has assembled an impressive list of villains, including some old and 1 new bad guy, "Plastic." Plastic was bullied as a child because he was unattractive. Now he gets revenge by kidnapping attractive people and performing plastic surgery to make them ugly.
Harry McGlade, Jack Daniels friend and private investigator, has been hired by several "Plastic" victims to find him and stop him. Harry is as outrageous as ever. He has 2 pets, a penguin and a capybara. He calls the penguin "Waddlebutt" and the capybara "Big D**k."
Harry offers Jack a huge amount of money to help him find "Plastic." The other villains are from Jack and Phin's(Jack's husband) past. They are determined to get revenge on Jack, Phin, and Tom, a friend of Jack's. You would have to read the previous books in this 13 book series to get the back story on all of them. This is book 13 in the series and I caution you that these books have some gruesome scenes. They are not cozy thrillers.
Some quotes: Harry McGlade, describing himself: "Don't get me wrong. I know that I'm pretty awesome. You read the part earlier about having 3 swimming pools? Who else has three swimming pools? I'm like the USA's Homecoming King. During the live stream I had 26,521 people watching."
Phin, on entering Harry's armory: "If anyone needed proof that the United States has an unhealthy obsession with guns, all they had to do was take a tour of McGlade's armory.
The master bedroom, converted into shelves and aisles of weapons and ammo and accessories, reminded me of the scene in every action movie where the hero had a gearing-up montage, picking the deadliest and most exotic firearms out of the dozens and dozens available, photographed with the same intensity of a love scene."
Both my wife and I enjoy this series. My wife liked that 3 characters were named Chandler, Hammett, and Fleming. This was a kindle unlimited book.

Jack & Phin get sucked in again by Harry. There's a psycho on the loose that is terrorizing their friend Tom and a plastic surgeon who's disfiguring his victims in interesting ways. To top that off, The cowboy is still hunting for Jack & Phin's brother has escaped from prison. The collision course between all of these people is a rollicking good time full of violence, humor, pathetic whining, & of course Harry's new pets. Jack finally might be getting her mojo back
